Wow - what the heck is going on right now? In the St. Louis area Unleaded is at $2.55 and Diesel is at $3.19 at the same freaking station !!! What the heck happened?

Well, I guess I'll be riding the mountain bike for more than just exercise now....

 

try out 2.67 and 3.45

78 cents difference

B.S.

 

How about $2.44 and $3.65.

 

So far we're about $.45-.50 more for diesel, but as unleaded drops the diesel goes up. With the current prices, it costs the same to drive the truck to work (~16-17 MPG) as it does to drive the Jeep (14 MPG on a good day).

 

This morning it was 2.39 for unleaded, 3.25 for deisel...

 

It's the beginning of home heating oil season. Every year diesel goes up in October but usually by about 20-30 cents. I'm sure this has to do with the so called shortage of heating oil.

 

2.39 unleaded, 2.89 for diesel....passing those 6 mpg gassers pulling trailers...priceless.

 

Diesel is 0.62 cents higher per gallon here. BUT...I get 8 miles more per gallon with my diesel Jeep than the wife gets with her identical gas Jeep. So let the smoke roll!

 

Lets say I drive 500 miles in a week. My CTD gets about 20.5 mpg. Thats 24.4 gallons. At $3.19/gal, that = $77.84. My fiances car (Toyota Solara) gets 30 mpg. In the same 500 miles, it uses 16.67 gallons. Gas around here is about $2.59. Thats only $43.18. And a V8 gas truck getting 14mpg uses 35.71 gallons for a total of $92.48. So, the moral is, if you have a car, drive it to work, if you drive a truck, make it a CTD, even with .60 price difference per gallon.

it is 1.00$ more for diesel here.

 

OK, this morning it changed again....$2.29 for unleaded and $3.55 for deisel....

 

This sucks. I'm paying double what I did a year ago! When the price of crude hit $70/bbl, our prices didn't budge one cent. Now that crude is $5 less, the prices jumped 80 cents. I wanna see just one State AG with the cajones to start a RICCO investigation!

 

diesel just went up to 3.69 here this really is getting ridiculous

 

I'm going to have to stop complaining (not), I apparently have it good here.

Gas $2.69, diesel $2.99... And I thought Connecticut was expensive. Hang in there guys!

$3.19 on Friday.
$3.14 on Saturday.

$3.29 when I filled up at noon today.

I didn't take note of the price of unleaded, but $2.80 sticks in my head.
